I was hoping they would've started off with the war on Krypton instead of watching Lara give birth. Later on when Clark discovers the fortress, Jor-El basically gave him an explanation to Krypton's destruction. I loved the look of Krypton. It was something different than the ice planet we're used to seeing, but I felt like they were trying to pull off an Avatar in the beginning.

I don't know a whole lot about Superman's mythology, so some stuff might not has bothered me as much as others. I just felt like they went overboard with the opening sequence. I would have preferred short and simple, rather than long and fancy.

Has Supermans birth ever been shown in a movie before?
I thought that it was a bold choice.
When we saw it,
My friend and I were deeply moved by the entire scene .

I haven't been reading Injustice, but I think I might just have to start

"The problem," Pa used to say, "is people. As far back as we go, we've always had problems with sharing. Seems everyone's too busy holding on to what they've got to care how their neighbors are doing."

To the overall story of Superman in this new DCCU, there must be some significance to us being brought into his legend from the actual moment of birth. My fear is that it is indicative of where they will end the story...

If the third movie was about Supermans death,
That means either a fourth film to bring him back ,
Or he comes back to life befoe the third film is over.
That last scenario is more likely .

Kill him in his 3rd movie. Bring him back in the Second Justice League movie.

"It felt like a sci-fi action flick more than a Superman film." That's understandable. But i'm glad Superman was changed up. Film-wise, the character needed to be changed up and re-vamped to fit todays' audiences.
I've seen the film several times now, and it suffers from pacing issues. I bet you Snyder's nearly 3 hour cut might have fixed some of those issues. Or maybe made them worse, I don't know. It's just a classic case of fitting so much story into 2.5 hours. While I really, thoroughly enjoyed the film, I didn't "love" it. It was the best Superman film we've received since Superman II, but it's marketing didn't live up to the film's final product.
Then again, I was expecting this film to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Synder, I love the guy to death, but all his films have the same pacing issues. That could really bite Superman vs. Batman in the ass. What if Snyder goes crazy and starts to bring too much of Batman's story into Superman's ? Or vice-versa ?

The sad thing is that a lot of those elements are present in some of the comics but people are so attached to the Donner Films and the superfical image of Superman.

It iratates me when people complain about superman frowning, looking angry, or being too violent. Sups is a dynamic character. It's not like he farts rainbows all the time.
